<p>On Wednesday, the <strong>Calgary Flames (2-7-1, 5 points)</strong> played quite well but made just enough mistakes to lose to a strong Dallas team. They&#8217;ll try to replicate that effort, but with a better result, on Saturday against the <strong>Seattle Kraken (4-5-2, 10 points)</strong>. The Flames have lost six games in a row: can they finally snap that skid and back into the win column?</p>
<p>The broadcast begins at 8 p.m. MT on City TV, Sportsnet One/West/Ontario/East and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.</p>

<h2><strong>The Flames</strong></h2>
<p>Projected lines courtesy Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Huberdeau &#8211; Lindholm &#8211; Mangiapane<br />
Zary &#8211; Kadri &#8211; Sharangovich<br />
Pospisil &#8211; Backlund &#8211; Coleman<br />

<p>Weegar &#8211; Andersson<br />
Hanifin &#8211; Tanev<br />
Zadorov &#8211; Gilbert</p>
<p>Dan Vladar starts for the Flames, backed up by Jacob Markstrom. The projected extras are Nick DeSimone and A.J. Greer. Adam Ruzicka remains out day-to-day with an upper-body injury. 2018 fourth-rounder Martin Pospisil is expected to make his NHL debut.</p>
<p>The Flames have lost six games in a row. In some of those games, if we&#8217;re being honest, they just weren&#8217;t all that good. In some of those games, they deserved a better fate. Wednesday against Dallas was the second category; they were <em>really</em> good in the third period, providing a bit of a glimpse at the team that they could be if things all snap into place.</p>
<p>We still have yet to see a consistent 60 minute effort from the Flames this season. Perhaps against Seattle it finally emerges.</p>
<h2><strong>The Kraken</strong></h2>
<p>Projected lines courtesy Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Kartye &#8211; Beniers &#8211; Bjorkstrand<br />

McCann &#8211; Gourde &#8211; Tolvanen<br />

<p>We&#8217;re expecting Philipp Grubauer to start in net, backed up by Joey Daccord. Their projected extra skater is Jaycob Megna.</p>
<p>The Kraken are wobbling around in the Pacific Division&#8217;s mushy middle to start the season, but they&#8217;ve won their last two games. They have a four-way tie at the top of their lineup for their scoring lead: Jared McCann, Jaden Schwartz, Oliver Bjorkstrand and Vince Dunn. The Kraken are very much the team they were last year, except they&#8217;re off to a bit of a slow start and their execution is off a little bit.</p>
